Gourmet Outdoor Food by Patagonia

Patagonia clothing company launched gourmet outdoors food company called Patagonia Provisions. A highlight is that food is responsibly, sustainably sourced. But it also means a hefty price tag. The concept is quite plausible and the design amazing.

The collection includes canned smoked mussels, smoked Alaskan wild salmon farmed sustainably, trail mix etc. It can be found in outdoor sports stores such as REI, SportsBasement, and sometimes whole foods.

Review for Patagonia Smoked Mussels : At a glance, the smoked mussels seem expensive because it looks like one order of mussels but the can contains quite a few "yolks" of the mussel, dozed in lots of olive oil. It has a distinctive canned taste though still premium. It probably tastes better with soup, salad. We'd rather not consume it straight out of the can. If you already like anchovy this may be a no brainer.

Review for Patagonia Smoked Salmon: amazing, actually wild, tasty smoked salmon. Quite a bit salty but looks amazing served on a plate. It is main course worthy. Probably tastes extra good with a bit more soup and other starchier blander contents due to its saltiness. Makes excellent Japanese salmon ochazuke tea soaked salmon over rice. Generous portion and high quality. Well worth the money.
